Description

Reactive polyorganosiloxanes having nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups

[0001] The present invention relates to a reactive polyorganosiloxane having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group.

[0002] Polyorganosiloxanes having reactive groups at both ends are generally suitable for introducing siloxane structures into various resins, and are used in a wide range of applications, including polyimide resins, epoxy resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins, and urea resins (see Patent Document 1). However, the resins containing polyorganosiloxanes may exhibit reduced adhesion to substrates. Furthermore, polyorganosiloxanes having unsaturated bonds at both ends are used as raw materials for addition-curable silicone resin compositions, but silicone resin compositions may be required to have improved flame retardancy.

[0003] On the other hand, compounds having heterocyclic rings exhibit good adhesion to metals and the like, and are therefore used as adhesion improvers and rust inhibitors. They are also known to be useful in imparting flame retardancy to silicone resin compositions (Patent Document 2). However, when a compound having a heterocyclic group is added alone to a resin composition, it may not be compatible with the resin or may produce uneven effects.

[0004] For these reasons, there has been a demand for the development of polyorganosiloxanes having reactive functional groups and organic groups containing heterocycles.

[0021]

[0022]

[0023] In the above formula, a1 is a number from 0 to 2,000, and b1 is a number from 1 to 30.

[0024] The method for producing the reactive polyorganosiloxane having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the polyorganosiloxane of the present invention can be produced by an equilibration reaction between a cyclic organosiloxane compound represented by the following formula (2), an organosiloxane compound represented by the following formula (3), and, if necessary, a cyclic organosiloxane compound represented by the following formula (4) in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, preferably a basic catalyst.

[0029] The amounts (ratios) of the cyclic organosiloxane compound represented by the formula (2), the organosiloxane compound represented by the formula (3), and the cyclic organosiloxane compound represented by the formula (4) used as needed can be selected arbitrarily depending on the degree of polymerization (or the number of silicon atoms) of the reactive polyorganosiloxane having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group represented by the formula (1).

[0030] The reaction conditions are not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 10 to 200° C. and 1 to 24 hours. The reaction can be carried out without using a solvent, or, if necessary, may be carried out using a solvent such as toluene or xylene, as long as it does not inhibit the reaction.

[0031] Specific examples of acidic catalysts include sulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, etc., and specific examples of basic catalysts include potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium siliconate, sodium siliconate, etc. Although the use of these catalysts allows the equilibration reaction to proceed stably, in the present invention, basic catalysts are preferred, and potassium siliconate is more preferred.

[0032] Generally, when an acidic catalyst such as sulfuric acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is used as the catalyst, the equilibration reaction is carried out at a relatively low temperature, for example, from 10 to 150°C, preferably from 20 to 100°C, for 30 minutes to 12 hours, preferably from 1 to 8 hours, and the acidic catalyst is used in an amount of 100 to 10,000 ppm, preferably 300 to 5,000 ppm by mass, based on the total amount of organosiloxane compounds used as raw materials.

[0033] On the other hand, when a basic catalyst such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium siliconate, or sodium siliconate is used as the catalyst, the equilibration reaction is carried out at a relatively high temperature, for example, 50 to 180°C, preferably 80 to 160°C, for 1 to 24 hours, preferably 2 to 12 hours, and the basic catalyst is used in an amount of 1 to 1,000 ppm, preferably 10 to 500 ppm by mass, in terms of hydroxide, based on the total mass of the organosiloxane compounds used as raw materials.

[0034] After the reaction is complete, the catalyst is neutralized and, if necessary, filtration is carried out, and the filtrate is then purified by distillation or the like under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure to obtain the desired polyorganosiloxane.

[0035] The reactive polyorganosiloxane having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group of the present invention can be introduced into various resins such as polyimide resins, epoxy resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins, and urea resins, and can therefore be suitably used for resin modification applications. A composition containing a resin modified by introducing the polyorganosiloxane of the present invention cures and exhibits good adhesion to the substrate, and also exhibits good flame retardancy. In particular, a composition containing a polyimide resin modified by introducing the polyorganosiloxane of the present invention can provide a cured product with good adhesion. Furthermore, a composition containing a silicone resin obtained from the polyorganosiloxane of the present invention can provide a cured product with improved flame retardancy.
